I am having a devil of a time getting my coolant reroute hose to go on at the crankcase. The kit is an eBay knockoff and everything else went on fairly easily. I even removed that yellow o-ring on the "gizzie". I tried soaking the end of hose in hot water to no avail. Gonna try boiling water tomorrow.

Any my tips or suggestions guys/gals?

To me, I think the hose material is too thick. Can I just use a plan Jane piece of hose?

thanks!
